A dreaded criminal of Bangladeshi origin and one of his associates were arrested following a shootout in southwest Delhi’s Dwarka, police said on Friday.

Miraj alias Mehraj received a bullet injury in his leg while Shahid was overpowered by a team of the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch from a spot near Dhulsiras village in the early hours of Friday, they said.

A police officer said Miraj, a native of Bangladesh, was involved in a dacoity in a house in Ashok Vihar area. He had decamped with cash and jewellery worth Rs 2 crore by holding the family at gunpoint in May 2023, the officer added.

“Miraj was previously involved in five cases of dacoity and the Arms Act,” the officer said, adding that he had been admitted to a hospital.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
